Well,how about Harrington Road in Henderson.
This is my second year doing Xmas lights set to music. I have 3238 LED's that are programable. That is equivelant to over 9500 lights and yes I do have a Xmas tree, (1000 LED's).
I will have speakers out, so you can hear the music and like last year intend to broadcast it as well, so that you can sit in your car and watch and hear.
Keep am eye or ear in this thread for more details as to when the shows are happening and the address.

The plea follows the death of fisherman Liangpeng Lian who fell into the water while fishing on October 5 near Kauwahaia Island.
The 43-year-old's body was recovered on Muriwai Beach after it was spotted by a member of the public from a nearby walking track.
Kumeu community constable Dmitry Pantileev said Lian's family members were "absolutely devastated" by the tragedy.
Friends who were with Lian when he fell off the rocks were very upset, he said.
"I don't think they all do fishing any longer. "
Pantileev urged rock fishermen to avoid areas with extreme waves and tides, to take someone with them and to wear a lifejacket.
"It's not 100 per cent protection as the waves can crash you against the rocks and you can still be badly injured," he said.
"At least the jacket can prevent drowning and keep the person afloat until help arrives."
Pantileev reminded parents to keep a close watch over their children at such notorious swimming spots as Muriwai Beach and Bethells Beach.
"Once when I was at Muriwai, the water level came from below the knees to the chest area," he said.
" It was a split second for that wave to arrive.
"For people who can not swim and even for experienced swimmers, you can struggle because of the strong current and waves dragging you off shore to sea, " he said.

The Commerce Commission plans to follow a similar approach to that of their investigation into the price of petrol and diesel for land transport, which cost the taxpayer an estimated $2.5 million dollars. Labour promised an investigation into food prices on the election campaign and if unfair practices are found when the Commission's report is released in late 2021, necessary changes will be made.
Do you notice price differences between supermarket chains?

For Aucklanders who have lived through the massive overhaul, do you think local government is running more smoothly?
Auckland Council's first year was far from smooth with the Occupy protest, the Rugby World Cup opening night transport debacle, a battle with central government over funding the inner-city rail loop, and a contest of wills over delegating powers to local boards and council-controlled organisations.
Auckland's inaugural super mayor Len Brown hailed it a success.
"Generally 2011 has been a good first year for the council, " Brown said in 2012.
"We've brought the region together... At the same time we have driven $81 million in efficiencies and reduced the inherited 9.3 per cent rates increase down to 3.9 per cent."
The boundaries of the new super city were unveiled in 2010.
Super city Auckland was divided into 13 wards with 21 local boards.

New Zealand Police's Financial Intelligence Unit estimates New Zealanders lose $20-30 million annually to scams.
HOW TO AVOID A SCAM:
+ A genuine bank or organisation will never contact you to ask for your PIN, password or to move money to another account.
+ Never click on a link in an unexpected email or text – you could be giving access to your personal and financial details.
+ Always question uninvited approaches in case it is a scam. Instead, contact the company directly using a known email or phone number.
+ Don’t assume an email or phone call is authentic – just because someone knows your basic details (name and address, or mother’s maiden name) it doesn’t mean they are genuine.
+ Don’t be rushed into making a decision or financial transaction on the spot – a genuine bank or trusted organisation would never do this.
+ Listen to your instincts – if something feels wrong then it generally is.
If you believe you are the victim of a scam you can contact Police and report the matter via 105.
